It’s like a brand new game wow

Ricegum1988d ago

Do you know if it is 60fps?

2pacalypsenow1988d ago

Its not.

It's locked at 30fps

slasaru011988d ago

It's definitely not but the graphics filter makes it look 60fps-ish. I don't know how to explain but 60fps games look like "photorealistic" and like TV news channels while most 30 fps games tend to look like "cinematic" with milder picture. So FF13 looks like the first type for me. But it's obviously not 60fps, you can feel it from the controls.

another fake 4K advertisement from the xbox camp

Bane351989d ago (Edited 1989d ago )

even if its not true 4k its still a hell of alot better then 576p

B1uBurneR1989d ago (Edited 1989d ago )

Psn now ps2 ps3 gqmes does this on with the pro. MS playing catch up with old games.

Edit :\

conanlifts1989d ago (Edited 1989d ago )

What? Psnow streams at a maximum 720p. Games downloaded run at their native resolution. In addition for PS2 games to work on PS4 you must repurchase them. This game runs at 1728p on the X and if you already own it no purchase is necessary.
So what are you on about? My source is below in case you disagree.

Being a PS4 owner I'm jealous of the BC Microsoft added to the XB1 and the upscaling feature on the X is cool as well. PS Now is crap and there's not a lot of PS2 titles available on the ps4 and the library of games is pretty weak.

I'd probably replay it for trophies or something. Wouldn't get that through BC if it was on PS4 because I have all three plats already...although I guess I could get it with achievements on X1, as I don't have those. But then i'd have to buy the games, and I don't really care to start a gaming collection on the X1.

Other than that, I may be compelled to replay the series one day. Prettier graphics wouldn't be the compelling reason though.

SegaSaturn6691988d ago

I don't even remember this game, really. The battles were just mash X button to win! I very rarely recall needing to change paradigms.

rainslacker1988d ago

Paradigms were mostly unneeded during the regular game. but most of the post game stuff you couldn't survive without understanding it.

RedDevils1988d ago

Agreed, a polish turd in 4k LMAO

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972126d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus126d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda125d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B124d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981124d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot124d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda124d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot124d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy124d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay124d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12126d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay124d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB125d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
